Once again, I need some direction on semi-bulk orders.
I have all the specialty grains narrowed down (but suggestions still welcome), same with the base malts, but I am stuck on the crystals.
Since I havn't brewed much, I dont have the experience necesary to determine what grains I should keep on hand. I am trying to figure out which crystals I want to order. I am going to order a pound or two of 120L, but am having trouble with the lower lovibonds.
Most of the recipes I have seen call for either 40 or 60 so I think I may get 3-5 #s of those.
But on other threads I see people stock up on 10, 20, or 80L malts as well and I am not sure if I need those. What styles call for these or what general uses do these fufill?
I want to have a lot of different beer styles (particularly cream ales, fat tire or dead guy types and IPAs) covered by my stock so what are some other good grains to have on hand?
